| Phono cable advice. @three_easy_payments, you’ve answered your own question and it’s that dreaded ’disease’ we audiophiles get called ’upgrade-itis’ and it looks as if you’re starting to get symptoms of it. But don’t worry cause it’s actually kinda fun.☺@soudermn, I ... | |
| Phono cable advice. Hi,Does anyone here have any experience with clear day cable interconnects used as phono interconnects? They are purposely made unshielded and I have an opportunity to purchase a pair with ETI Silver Bullet rca jacks. I have never seen a bad revie... | |

| BEST INTERCONNECT FOR $25 EACH? @craigert, I think the little time you put in doing your research has paid off really well. So good in fact you have also helped you fellow 'audiophiles'. @dopogue is using Duelund 20g interconnects over his highly regarded clear day cable interco... | |

| Great Value in Used Phono Preamp’s? @adg101 and @boxer12 +1 On the Parks Audio Budgie and +1 on the Parks Audio SUT, if you can find them for sale. There’re so good, for the small amount of money they cost people who own them hold on to them and don’t sell them. And the maker of the... | |
